Missouri Returning Heroes Act

The Missouri Returning Heroes' Education Act limits tuition charged to qualified combat
veterans to $50 per credit hour, for any program leading to a certificate or Associate's
or Bachelor’s degree. For purposes of this law, a "combat veteran" is any person
who served in armed combat after Sept. 11, 2001, who was a Missouri resident when
first entering the military and who was discharged from military service under honorable
conditions.

An eligible combat veteran shall receive the tuition limitation as long as the veteran
achieves and maintains a 2.5 cumulative grade point average. The eligibility period
for the tuition limitation shall expire ten years from the date of the veteran's last
discharge from service. Contact your campus Financial Aid office for more details.
